VCI Global's Treasury Management Framework Positions OOB as a Next-Generation Utility Token Bridging Real-World Payments and Institutional Trust
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”) today announced that the OOB Token is set to debut on Kraken at 10 a.m. ET, following VCI Global's US$100 million acquisition of OOB tokens. The listing marks a key milestone in VCIG's digital-treasury initiative, connecting regulated capital markets with blockchain liquidity and real-world token utility.
“Listing on Kraken is a pivotal moment for OOBIT. With VCI Global managing the treasury and Tether as a strategic shareholder, we are bridging everyday token utility with institutional trust,” said Amram Adar, Founder and CEO of OOBIT.
“Kraken represents integrity and stability in the digital-asset market. OOB launch there signifies the maturity of our platform and ecosystem. We are proud to work with partners who share our commitment to governance and compliance,” said Moshe Schisser, Chairman of OOBIT.
VCI Global's Treasury Management role ensures that OOB functions more than a tradable token. By providing institutional-grade oversight of token reserves, implementing staking and burn mechanisms with the proper controls on circulation, alongside integrating OOBIT's payment and reward platform, the token proves tangible utility in both cross-border and everyday transactions. The Kraken listing also provides immediate access to millions of verified users globally, expanding liquidity and market reach.
OOB is positioned as a hybrid model integrating real-world payments, staking, and institutional trust - a combination rarely seen in digital assets. Strategic partners strengthen this position: Tether, with its major stake in OOBIT, provides liquidity and credibility; VCI Global ensures strong oversight; Kraken offers global access; additional ecosystem supporters include Solana Co-Founder Anatoly Yakovenko and CMCC Global.
“As Treasury Manager, VCI Global is committed to ensuring that OOB operates with transparency, liquidity, and measurable utility. Our oversight framework, combined with Kraken's global reach and Tether's strategic stake, positions OOB to deliver meaningful value to both users and investors,” said Dato' Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global.
